aGent Webcam V5

A few years back I was playing around with a V2 of this webcam, results were a bit disappointing, OK for the moon but not sensitive enough for anything dimmer. I've just ordered the V5 and will give it a go on planetary imaging. The makers reckon the low light sensitivity has been much enhanced and the pixel count is higher. It comes with an adapter for camera lenses which I hope will make it easier to attach to a focuser, although the tubular body is only about 0.5 Millimetre less than an eyepiece. If it works out, it could be a cheap entry cam for beginners at around $75 on Ebay.
I'll post results after its been tested.
